Phillip Scott+FollowSabres jersey swap hints at big changesZach Benson and Josh Norris just swapped jersey numbers for the Buffalo Sabres, but the real story is the pressure both face this season. With the Sabres aiming to end a 14-year playoff drought, Benson could be thrust into a first-line role after JJ Peterka’s trade, despite modest stats so far. Meanwhile, Norris, now wearing his favorite No. 9, is returning from injury and needs to stay healthy for Buffalo to have a shot. The team also revealed fresh numbers for new faces, adding to the sense of a new era. Do you think these changes will finally spark a playoff run? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowSabres playoff hopes finally feel realBuffalo’s 14-year playoff drought might actually end this season, and fans have reason to believe. Analytics guru Jack Fraser projects the Sabres will snag a playoff spot with 94 points, a huge leap from last year. The team’s defense looks stronger with Michael Kesselring joining Owen Power, and a wave of young talent—like Zach Benson and Jack Quinn—could finally break through. But it all hinges on goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen bouncing back and the power play improving. If those pieces fall into place, could this finally be Buffalo’s year? What do you think—are you buying the hype or still skeptical? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowSabres’ goalie shakeup: What’s next for Devon Levi?Devon Levi’s drop in the NHL prospect rankings is turning heads in Buffalo. Once seen as a top-5 future star, Levi now sits just outside the top 10, raising big questions about the Sabres’ goaltending future. Despite his impressive college and AHL stats, Levi’s smaller frame and recent NHL struggles have some doubting if he’s the long-term answer. With Luukkonen and Lyon also in the mix, the pressure’s on for Levi to prove he can handle the big stage. Do you think Levi deserves another shot, or is it time for the Sabres to look elsewhere for their next starting goalie? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres01Share

Christopher Li+FollowWhy these Sabres trade rumors could backfireBringing in a new goalie or a big-name forward might sound like the answer for the Sabres, but trading for Stuart Skinner or Alexis Lafreniere could actually set the team back. Skinner’s numbers aren’t much better than what Buffalo already has, and Lafreniere, despite his hype, hasn’t proven he’s worth a long-term investment. Instead of gambling on risky trades, it might be smarter for the Sabres to give Devon Levi a real shot and focus on building from within. What do you think—should the Sabres roll the dice or stick with their young core? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowCould Lafreniere Be Buffalo’s Missing Piece?Sabres fans, what do you think about the buzz linking Alexis Lafreniere to Buffalo after the Peterka trade? With JJ heading to Utah and the Sabres still hunting for a top-six forward, King Laf’s breakout playoff run has everyone talking. Could a deal centered around Byram bring the former #1 pick to the Queen City? Is Lafreniere the answer to fill Peterka’s skates and ignite our offense? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres01Share
Molly Tucker+FollowSabres’ Leino Deal: The Ultimate Bust?Sabres fans, let’s talk about the Ville Leino saga. Remember when the Blue and Gold signed him to that massive six-year, $27M deal hoping he’d be a game-changer? Instead, Leino’s time in Buffalo was plagued by injuries and low production—he didn’t even finish half his contract. It’s tough to find a worse free agent signing in Sabres history. Was this the move that set our playoff hopes back the most? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share

Would you pull the trigger on this deal, or ride it out with our current crew? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
david52+FollowDahlin’s Top 20 Ranking: Sabres Fans Sound OffSabres faithful are fired up after the NHL Network slotted Rasmus Dahlin at No. 7 on its Top 20 Defensemen list. With the Captain’s blend of offensive firepower and defensive grit, many in Buffalo think he’s being slept on. Four straight 50+ point seasons and a leadership role on a young squad chasing the playoffs—shouldn’t that crack the top 5? The debate is on: is Dahlin underrated compared to stars like Makar and Hughes? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowSabres’ December could make or break the seasonEvery year, December seems to trip up the Buffalo Sabres—and this season’s schedule looks even tougher. With a brutal seven-game road trip and just a couple of home games sprinkled in, the team faces a real test of grit and depth. If they can manage to break their usual December slump and stay close to .500, there’s real hope for ending that 14-year playoff drought. But if old patterns return, it could be another long winter for fans. What do you think—will this year be different, or is December destined to be a Sabres stumbling block? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
